Festival Culture in this period of time structure, classification and analysis ofthe features outlined, to lay a cushion for the back research.Fourthly, the festival witchcrafts and taboos. This is the core part of the article, thebefore research about pre-Qin to the Sui and Tang Dynasty provided the preparation tostudy festival witchcrafts and taboos. As we all know, we are the thick of the traditionalfestival at the age of culture, these festivals are beginning to entertainment andhappiness since the Tang and Song Dynasty, festival theme of the Ming and QingDynasty added to the nature of the game. But before the Tang Dynasty, what is thesituation of the ancient Chinese traditional festivals' beliefs, rituals, customs, reasonsand original meaning etc? The article answered the question from the theory ofevolution, functional, and structural perspectives, And finally raised the view of "earlyChinese festival culture of witchcraft "Finally, the macro right to pre-Qin to the Sui and Tang Dynasty festival culturediscussed on the basis of select "Dragon Boat Festival" as a case microscopic analysis.Focused on the following two aspects: one is the change of time of Dragon BoatFestival and its cultural choices in pre-Qin to the Sui and Tang Dynasty period; And theother is the pre-Qin to the Sui and Tang Dynasty dragon boat races. The first positionceremony for the Dragon Boat races provide a background on the time and some mental belief, taboos ceremony in this time; The second aspect of the Dragon Boat Racedescribe as a ceremony to ward off disaster limitless, and the right time to choose. Thisexplanation from the two aspects, that is to say, there is a election between time(Duanwu) and ceremonies (Dragon Boat Race) is a necessity, ceremony that thedragon boat races to find the time dimension, the Dragon Boat Festival has establishedits own space dimensions. This can be a very good video card functionalism, andstructuralism theories, very well support "early Chinese cultural festival of witchcraft"and the reference point.
